Thursday - Clear and sunny? (I didn't go out.)

A weird day.

I got up this morning and realized that my throat was really sore. I went into the bathroom and the room was spinning around me. Yikes. I ended up going back to bed for a while. Van gave me some medicine and I took it. It made me sleepy so I went to bed and slept for hours!

I got up in the afternoon and helped Van prepare for her visitors. It was nice.

I came downstairs and did a bit of crocheting. Today I managed to finish one of my crochet projects and then I started another. It is going quite well.

I went downstairs before the visitors came and did my project. I came up for a while and had some pizza with the guests before begging off. They had 3 children and mixed with Van's kids were rather noisy.

I spent the rest of the evening downstairs. I enjoyed watching The Princess Bride again, and now I'm working on my last pre-Christmas project and watching Nanny McPhee. Colin Firth and Emma Thompson. What a combo!

Anyway, I really should get some sleep soon. I am a bit tired and tomorrow might be a long day. I really hope I'm not sick tomorrow. Sigh. Night!

As I read this book I had a couple of thoughts....She was very racist, although she would probably not have realized so as a product of her time. The other thought was how little things have changed in Japan since her travels! Oh, of cou...

I enjoyed this group of short stories. The first one is the best by a longshot, but the others have interesting ideas. Be aware that there is a lot of sex in the last short story and it is quite graphic.
I would be interested in reading...
